Going to Greece!

To my devoted blog- followers:
I apologize for not updating my blog in well over a month and a half. My excuse is that I’ve been super busy with classes and living life in Central America. By the way, I returned safely from Nicaragua two weeks ago so I hope you weren’t worried or anything. I think most of you are on facebook too so you may have noticed my status change.
On Monday I’m leaving for GRECIA, (Greece) COSTA RICA. It’s about an hour north of San Jose. I’ve heard that Grecia got its name because the original settlers thought they were in Greece! Who knows it that’s actually true, but I guess I’ll find out. My papi says the route takes us through a town called Argentina, kinda funny, I think. I will be in Grecia for 3 weeks as an intern at a preschool where I’ll basically just help out with whatever needs they have and learn from the experience. I’ll be living with a family with 2 little kids, so I’m excited about that. I’ve heard great things about the church my family there goes to as their pastor used to be my current josefina (person from San Jose) family’s pastor.
After I get back from Grecia I’ll have a few days back with my josefina family to say goodbye before we head off to Cuba. Don’t worry, we got special permission  Our professors have told us it’s very safe and just full of culture. I’m looking forward to it and excited to learn especially as it’s always been this “untouchable” place for us from the United States.
Well, I’ll have to catch you all up on my trip to Nicaragua and the past two weeks in San Jose some other time because this chica has got to get to bed to leave at 7am tomorrow!
Bendiciones! Blessings!
